Title: Problems with GSX2 Re-Install **SOLVED**
Post by: garyghostrider on April 23, 2021, 07:45:33 am: Hello -
I am attempting a re-install of GSX/GSX2 for FSX and I am having nothing but problems....The installer successfully downloads all the necessary files...Then after a few moments of installation I was receiving the FSDT_LCD.ttf "cannot replace error"...I got past that error by restarting Windows 10 and removed the FSDT_LCD.ttf file from C:/Windows/Fonts...all goes well until after installing all of the essential files the installer goes into configuring support software in FSX where the installer freezes and I get a "Runtime error (at 244-445) : Invalid Class String" and then "List index out of bounds" messages...I have stopped the stalled installation at this point and restarted my system...I have updated my drivers and even removed the GSX entries in the registry and all file folders..I am running the installer as administrator but I have run out of ideas on what could be preventing re-installation. Also I have turned off my antivirus software during all of these steps..Any ideas would be appreciated Thanks

Post by: skywalker-50 on April 25, 2021, 11:37:17 am: Hi,
I got a new PC and while installing GSX (last version downloaded from the web site) the system display the following error message:
"Routine error (at 244:445):
Invalid class string" OK.

then after selecting the "OK" button, the system display a new error messages:
"List index out of bounds" OK

and the installation stops there.

I repeated the process twice after removing the previous installation with the same results.

Any suggestion what could be the problem?

Thank you

I took your suggestion that maybe the fault was in one of my .cfg or .dll files... I deleted the FSX.cfg and DLL.XML files and let FSX create new files upon restarting FSX....put in a backup copy of exe.dll and my Scenery.cfg file looks normal.
I have tried re-installation as administrator several times but still get stopped at the same error as pictured by the other posts.
It seems odd that with thousands of users that only a few of us are experiencing this problem..I am wondering if there is a common denominator causing this ???

Post by: virtuali on April 25, 2021, 10:10:22 pm: We found the problem, and it's in the FSX installer, some Windows update must have changed something in the default Windows XML parser to behave a bit differently than it used to be, and this seems to have confused the FSX installer.

It's fixed now. To get the latest installer files:

- Delete this folder, if you have it:

Documents\GSX_Installer

- Run the small gsx_fsx_setup.exe, which should download the updated files

Post by: garyghostrider on April 26, 2021, 12:24:42 am: It is a small (623Kb) .exe program that downloads the necessary files and initiates the GSX installation. You can download it from the FSDT GSX product page
